In the presence of iron (Fe), dissolved organic matter (DOM) may bind considerable amounts of arsenic (As), through formation of Fe-bridged As-Fe-DOM complexes and surface complexation of As on DOM-stabilized Fe-colloids (collectively referred to as As-Fe-DOM complexation). However, direct (e.g., chromatographic and spectroscopic) evidence and fundamental kinetic and stability constants have be...

the dependence on ionic strength of protonation of l-aspartic acid and its complexation withdioxouranium(vi) is reported in sodium perchlorate solution as a background salt. the measurementshave been performed at 25 ± 0.1 °c and various ionic strengths in the range 0.1 to 1.0 mol dm-3, using acombination of potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques. the overall analysis of the present an...

Interpolymer complexation is associated with the formation of hydrogen bonds between pendent and/or grafted groups of a single polymer or copolymers. The degree of complexation can be described theoretically in terms of complexation/decomplexation equilibrium characteristics. Graft copolymer networks of poly(methacrylic acid-g-ethylene glycol) were prepared by free radical solution polymerizati...

In this article, theoretical studies on the selective complexation of the halide ions (F¯, Cl¯ and Br¯) and ion pairs (Na+F¯, Na+Cl¯ and Na+Br¯) with the cyclic nano-hexapeptide (CP) composed of L-proline have been performed in the gas phase. In order to calculate the dispersion interaction energies of the CP and ions, DFT-D3 calculations at the M05-2X-D3/6-31G(d) level was employed. Based on t...
